I agree - Charlotte, D.C. or Atlanta. I hope the game does well in Tampa. The tickets are priced right. But after two years in Tampa, the game has to be staged in or near an ACC City/hotbed. Charlotte gets the first tryout.

That Jacksonville deal is madness. Like the writer said "Perhaps a thorough public audit is in order before dipping further into the taxpayer till".

I'll admit to having never been to Atlanta, and although this blog is hosted by one of their people, I'll take most Florida cities over Atlanta anyday. If there's a beach or theme park, seems more fun to me than a random city and the distance is basically the same since its only accessible by air for BC fans.

Erik, you have clearly never tried to fly to Jacksonville. It is very difficult (and expensive) to get to from almost anywhere. The last time I flew from Boston to Jacksonville, my two coach tickets cost $2350

What's wrong with DC? I think it's a good distance from all of us and coming from the BC perspective I think that DC is a good close enough bargaining middle point. Atlanta's okay but its just okay. I'd prefer Charlotte or maybe a nice South Carolina city!

I know this would never happen but how about a 12 year rotation letting each ACC school host the game? It'd be a great chance for fans that might not otherwise travel to a regular season away game to get to see other campuses. Plus it would provide extra incentive to do well in a "host" year.

Orlando is great, as long as you don't mind the $60 cab fares from Point A to Point B. We had a fantastic time last December during the Champs Sports Bowl. I strongly recommend an around-the-world beer-drinking tour at EPCOT.

I live in florida, and i'd say a majority of 18-22 year olds haven't seen snow, so the trip north might actually have some appeal... Now New England residents who are looking forward to trekking south might be disappointed, but as a once every 12 year occurence, would that factor be that big of a deal anyways?
